The chip on the xbox is an MX chip, TONS of boards out there that have em onboard and in actuality they don't perform any better than a GeF2. Take into consideration the xbox also only has 64MB of shared memory, so the CPU and graphics chip use the same memory. CPU is a mod'd P3, P3's are cheap as dirt. 8gb HD is also cheap as dirt. I can run out today and pick all that up or find a similar system in a local newspaper for the same price, or less, than an xbox and not have to piss around with mod chip and xbox linux install.
But the point was the EMU server would run on an xbox. Doubt it would be worth bothering with with a piddly 64mb of memory when most server ops are running 1+ GB of mem.
